Why do I introduce a new overlay in gud buffer? Because it's used to
show the line where the debugger stops at. The position of the gud
overlay is controlled by the debugger, not by users. So using
hl-line-mode in such a situation is not the proper way.

See the pic below.

gdb stops at line 4 (see the arrow in left fringe). But after I select
the source buffer and move 3 lines down, the line 7 is highlighted. Does
it mean that gdb stops at line 7? It's too confusing to users.
